(b) Where and when did it get started?
Abstract art was created in France just before the turn of the 20th century.
(c) What is the difference between abstract and non-representational art?
Abstract art is the extreme, form of free expression; that nothing about the work has to represent anything - it can show just color, as well.
Representational means that the image will look very real – like when an ordinary person looking at the image will say that it looks real
